11ª Bienal de Fotografia de Vila Franca de Xira - 6 Nov / 12 Dez 2010

Catalogue of this year's Biennial of Vila Franca de Xira

My contribution to the exhibition in the town of Vila Franca was photographed in 8x10 inches. The images that you see on this post, are actually reproductions of (second choice) contact prints, made the traditional way on photographic paper.

The color of the images was obtained with traditional toning methods: I used Agfa Viradon. I find that the real prints look somewhat more brown, than they do on my monitor, where they look a little reddish.

Who knows how do they look on yours?

Preparing the camera for the last two shots...

Now you understand why I drive a pickup... That I can look a little more crazy than I really am!
